Sony SCD-1

Hello, I am new to this group. I own a SONY SCD-1 SACD player. It has worked flawlessly for years. Today I was trying to play an SACD disc and it will play out of the analog outputs but neither of the digital outputs. The funny thing is it will play a regular CD through the digital or analog outputs. This happens on a SACD "only" disc. On a dual format SACD/CD disc, the player will automatically switch to CD even when I select SACD when I load the disc. Then while in CD mode it will then play Digital or Analog out. Any ideas? Thank you all in advance.
 
It seems like this is by design.

See the manual page 10 and the excerpt attached as a picture.

The only players I have seen that output SACD as digital either use firewire/i.link or hdmi.

Wow!Thanks a million! I haven’t played it in a while and I was sure the digital out worked on SACD. I even looked at the manual but missed that one statement. I am getting ready to sell the unit and was checking all functions to make sure it had no problems, so I am very relieved. Thanks again for your quick response. Best wishes.
